자금세탁방지법제에 대한 형법적 검토

Abstract

money laundering is the process by which criminal funds are turned in to clean money which appears to have been obtained from a legitimate source. The process is commonly used by drug traffickers, terrorists and organised crime syndicates. The Process involves three key stages ① placement of the proceeds of crime into the financial system ② layering to separate the money it's origins ③ integration, where the funds are integrated back into the economy to appear legitimate in order that the launderer can use the funds. The current Anti-Money Laundering System in Korea is severely below the 40 recommendations made by FATF(Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering), the international standard in the area. Although the recommendations by FATF are not legally binding, the recent warnings given by FATF of measures to be taken with respect to countries that do not or insufficiently comply with the FATF Recommendation calls for a more concrete analysis of the content and the problems in reformation of the policies in preventing money laundering in South Korea. The contents of this paper is as follows. ① Introduction ② Concept of money laundering ③ Money laundering regulations ④ Current statue and problem in Korean money laundering regulations. ⑤ A criminal Examination on Regulations of money laundering ⑥ Conclusion
